摘要：It is well known that by entering academical environment, the educational needs of the student are the subject of intense transformations. Without a doubt, the academical teaching must adapt to the needs of these young students witch are also traversing a period of intense changes. For this reason, an understanding of the characteristics of the student’s psychical development is more important than ever. But, this undertaking will be as complex as it will be difficult, because, the scientific studies regard the academic age (18-24/25 years) as a period of transition, and references to the psychical development’s characteristics are somewhat scarce and compared to the period of early teens. For this reason we will attempt an analysis of student’s development and personality at this age by reporting to the theories of psychological development.
